00:01Don't leave him hanging, Adams.
00:03I don't know what I'm doing.
00:05What, you've never been on a date before?
00:11What, seriously?
00:12Well, is it really that much of a surprise?
00:16I'm a nerd, a loser, an untouchable, remember?
00:20Come on, you're not that bad.
00:22Gee, thanks.
00:24No, I'm serious.
00:25You know, when you're not walking around the school acting like you're better than everybody and calling people assholes.
00:31Yeah, well, you try getting bullied for ten years straight.
00:34Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.
00:46So you want, like, you want experience, right?
00:52Because I can, like, totally give you experience.
00:54Are you?
00:56If this is a joke...
00:57It's not a joke, no.
00:58You're helping me with English, so why can I help you with, like, other things?
01:05What kind of things?
01:08Things you will never find reading a book.
01:12Strictly educational, right?
01:14Yeah, strictly educational.
01:16No feelings.
01:20Good, because you know you're not really my type.
01:24Right back at you.
01:28So you ready to get down to business?
01:33Mm-mm.
01:34Not so fast.
01:38Lesson number one.
01:40Good things come to those who wait.
01:43But you...
01:43No, no, no.
01:44See, if we're gonna do this, I'm in charge.
01:48Yeah?
01:49Okay.
01:49Good girl.
01:51Let's try that again.
02:13So, that's what all the books we're talking about?
02:15You're not gonna swoon on me, are you?
02:20Was it okay?
02:22I mean, like, was it good?
02:24I haven't had my first kiss before, so I wasn't...
02:26Look, trust me.
02:27It was good.
02:28It was good.
02:30Trust you?
02:33Why should I?
02:33Okay.
02:37I promise you, you can trust me.
02:39It was good.
02:44What?
02:44No, no.
02:45What are you doing?
02:47What did I just say?
02:52And like, anyway, isn't it time for you to teach me something?
02:56Come on.
03:10Now, who can give an example of subtext in Pride and Prejudice?
03:39I'm not sure of it, but I'm sure of it.
03:40I wouldn't believe so, thank you very much.
03:40I'm sure of it.
03:40I have to have a good idea of this.
03:40And I'm sure of it.
03:41I'm sure of it.
03:43I can't believe it or anything.
03:46I can think it's just so good.
03:46You say, Lord, you're not sure of it.
03:50What are you doing?
03:55Imagine if I was, you know, sitting even closer than I am now.
04:03I'd probably put my hand under the desk and rest it on your thigh, like right here.
04:12Worn, still, and just enough pressure so you'd know I'm there.
04:18He'd shoot me a look that says stop, but we both know you wouldn't really want to.
04:24He'd try to ignore me, try to focus, but I'd move higher and higher and higher.
04:42Riley.
04:42Riley.
04:45Everything okay?
04:49Everything's fine.
04:51You're flushed.
04:53Sure you don't want to go see a nurse?
04:55Okay then, back to Mr. Wickham.
04:57Austin is writing about the very slow, sometimes painful process of understanding another human being.
05:04That's what makes the book enduring.
05:06Not the setting, not the dresses or the balls, but the emotional honesty of watching two people become worthy of
05:14each other.
05:14And it's not just Elizabeth and Darcy.
05:17Consider how Austin treats the secondary characters.
05:20Mr. Collins, who is absurdly self-important.
05:24Lydia, who is impulsive to the point of danger.
05:34Please, like don't hold back at all.
05:36You need at least a C-plus on your term paper to pass English.
05:39And as your tutor, I know you could use a better word than just good to describe Jane Austen's writing.
05:47Great.
05:50Like really great.
05:54Um, I don't know.
05:57Masterful.
05:58See?
05:59That's much better.
06:02How about a reward for all my hard work?
06:05Give me my pen back.
06:07This pen.
06:08You want this?
06:08Yes.
06:09I need that pen.
06:10You need this pen.
06:11Give me the pen back.
06:12Give me the pen back.
06:13Get the pen.
06:14Give it!
06:14That's right here.
06:30We should really get back to your paper.
06:33I think it's your turn for a little tutoring.
07:00Riley was here late.
07:02Yeah, we had a lot of studying to do.
07:05So that's what the kids are calling it these days.
07:09Riley's just my English tutor.
07:11Right.
07:13Well, she seems like a keeper to me.
07:16Okay, well there's nothing to keep because we're not together.
07:20But you like her, right?
07:22Yeah.
07:24I don't want to talk about this.
07:28Did my dad call?
07:30He called earlier.
07:31He had to extend his business trip by a few days.
07:34Right, of course.
07:35I mean, why did he get me to play football if he's just going to miss every fucking game?
07:40I'm sorry, sweetheart, but Tristan, you need to do what you want, not what other people want you to do.
07:58What the fuck?
08:08Oh my god!
08:10Girls, help her!
08:19Really, Amanda?
08:20Look, I was just trying to help.
08:23I mean, there's no shame in the game, honey.
08:24It is senior year.
08:25And you are still a virgin.
08:28So desperate times.
08:35Girls, let's go.
08:51Thanks.
08:52Oh, no, it was the least I could do.
08:54No, really.
08:55I owe you one.
08:57Well, you never did text me back about tutoring.
09:00Well, we both know you don't need my help with English.
09:03Alright, fine.
09:05The drama club is doing Shakespeare in the Park this weekend.
09:08It'll be my date to the show.
09:11Really?
09:14I'd love to.
09:17Awesome.
09:18I'll text you, Riley.
09:30Okay, so he's no Mr. Darcy, but I'd take him to Mr. Bingley like that any day.
09:34I know, but look.
09:37Screw her, okay?
09:38She's an asshole.
09:40I need negative energy.
09:42Yeah.
09:42You're gonna go on this thing.
09:43You're gonna have so much fun.
09:57Can I, uh, can I ask you something?
10:01That's what I'm here for.
10:02Not about English.
10:06I'm having a party here on the weekend.
10:07You wanna come?
10:09Well, what happened to being seen with me with social suicide?
10:14Seriously?
10:16King Tristan doesn't give a shit what people say.
10:19I don't know, maybe I'm, maybe I'm taking a page out of your book.
10:24All right.
10:25Leave a view and look.
10:26Okay, so I'm back out of my book right for her.
10:27I wanted to meet the book.
10:27I hope this has been great.
